Is GM amoral?

On the first count of being unnatural and amoral, the fact is that all of agriculture is pretty much unnatural - there is nothing natural about seedless grapes or flightless chickens or corn that does not fling its seeds away as its ancestors did. Humans have spent centuries modifying various plants and animals by selecting and cross-breeding them for certain traits. The dairy cows of today can produce up to 12 litres of milk a day (over 4 times what "natural" cows would produce) so much that their calves would die if they were allowed to suckle from their mother. Of course, this does not mean that genetically modifying plants and animals is either "natural" or moral, just pretty much the same as all other agricultural processes.
